Top of Utah Half Marathon





Wow... I don't know which was harder, teaching my first week of school, or running this half marathon! Collie and I decided to do this a few months ago, and we finally accomplished it! It felt so great to be able to say that we ran the whole thing. Thanks to Zach, Collie's parents, and a special thanks to Brad, Stacey and the Jackson fam; they were the most amazing support group in the world! They waited for us at a few of the points on the course with cheering and camera's and water! It was the best motivation in the world, especially at the finish line. I almost cried when I was running in and they were all standing there cheering=) 5:00 am.


This is the first time we saw everyone, on mile 6!

This was a sight for sore eyes... and legs, and feet, and every muscle in the human body!
Trav doctored us up afterwards, and even though I couldn't bend my knees, the ice helped a ton! Thanks for everyone's support! I'm so grateful to all of these amazing people in my life... and thanks Collie, for the awesome experience!

Logan for Dad's birthday...

I know, it's a little late, but my Dad's birthday was June 5th. This man is my hero. He has the greatest love for his children and I know he would do absolutely anything for us. He is always making us laugh, and whenever my sisters and I are together he makes sure we know how he "loves his girls." Even when we were little and we got hurt, I can remember him just with the most heart-felt sympathy saying "darn-it all." Or else he would ask us to go run erands with him and he would bribe us by saying "I'll buy you a treat!" He's the best dad in the whole wide world! We had so much fun celebrating his birthday with presents......and then up to Logan to see the kids!The two cutest kids on the planet!The three cutest kids on the planet=)Dad picked Iggy's for dinner... mmm!Brooke... in 50 years.Coop and Uncle Butt bein silly!Ice cream Sundaes!What's a trip to Logan without visitng the Smithfield Implement? Bay thoroughly enjoyed herself.
The boys, probably watching sports center.
We had to turn around and drive back home at the end of the day, which is always hard, but it was such a fun day! Happy birthday dad, we love you!
